Résumé
2025 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Book WinnerAnnie Londonderry proves women can do anything they set their minds to-even cycle around the world-in this nonfiction picture book for cycling enthusiasts, budding travelers, and anyone who dreams of reaching a difficult goal. In the 1890s, times were tough, and opportunities for women were few and far between. When mother-of-three Annie Londonderry saw an ad promising $10, 000 to a woman who could cycle around the world in a year, something no one thought possible, she decided it was time to learn to ride.
She waved goodbye to her family in Boston and set off for Chicago. Annie was exhausted when she arrived fifty-nine days later-and she realized she'd never make it across the Rockies before winter, and certainly not riding a heavy women's bike and wearing a corset and petticoats. So Annie got herself a better bicycle and comfortable bloomers, and headed back East to try a different route. Facing robbers, sprained ankles, and disapproving stares, Annie missed her family and wanted to quit.
But she journeyed on, all over the world. And, when she finally reached California and the Southwest, she kept pedaling. Her family was counting on the prize money, and people around the world, especially women, were watching. Annie came through for all of them, arriving in Chicago fourteen days before her deadline and proving that women could do just about anything.
